Detailed explanation-1: -Kepler’s third law states that square of period of revolution (T) of a planet around the sun, is proportional to third power of average distance r between sun and planet i.e. T2=Kr3 where K is constant.
Detailed explanation-2: -The planetary-rotation period can even be calculated from the velocity-distance-time equation, T = D/V, where D = distance, in this case the circumference (2R), and V = tangential velocity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Kepler’s Third Law Equation You could consider it the “period of a planet formula.” The constant k is equal to 42/ GM, where G is the gravitation constant. M is the mass of the sun, but a more correct formulation would use the combined mass of the sun and the planet in question (Ms + Mp).
Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, it would take 8 years for this planet to revolve around the sun. Q. Distance between a distant planet and the Sun is four times that of distance between Earth and Sun.
